IIM-Ahmedabad is the only institute which has already specified the minimum marks it will take for students to make the cut. There has been a 20% rise in the number of entrants over last year. Students who score over 33% in the written test will be invited to the interview and group discussion rounds of the exam. CAT-2006 also saw some changes being made to the format of the test :-

The age limit for candidates was scrapped.

No limit will be set on the number of attempts at the test.

Graduates need to have at least 50% aggregate to apply.

Students awaiting their results can sit for the CAT but would need to produce their passing certificates upon admission.
